Farm to Market Report: Weekend of December 22-23

Good morning, market shoppers. Thought I was gone? You can’t get rid of me that easily. XOXO. (Okay, sorry…as Liz mentioned earlier, Gossip Girl ended this week and I’m just having trouble dealing.) Anyway, one way to cope with my heartbreak and prepare for Christmas is to scoop up some great deals this weekend at the markets. Fresh produce is très chic, after all, and perfect for your holiday table.

Coppell Farmers Market: No market this week, but keep an eye out for Winter Markets beginning January 12, every second and fourth Saturday in January, February, and March. Some vendors are taking special orders through the winter.

793 S. Coppell Rd. Saturday, 8:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m.

Cowtown Farmers Market: The holiday market is this Saturday from 8 a.m. to noon. Don’t miss out on any last minute gifts and fresh tamales, breads, baked goods, coffee, cheeses, and eggs. Heads up: this may be the last week to get fresh, local strawberries from Gnismer Farms in Arlington for the season.

3821 Southwest Blvd, Fort WorthSaturday, 8:00 a.m. – noon

Grapevine Farmers Market: The market is closed for the winter, but its full line of 100+ jarred goods, nuts, and candies are available at Texas Belles & Beaus on Main Street.

325 S. Main StreetThursday – Saturday, 8:00 am – 4:00 p.m.
